Sony Mavica FD5

In 1997 Sony introduced the Sony Mavica MVC-FD5. This inaugurated Sony's line of Mavica cameras using 3.5" floppy disks for image storage (a format Sony itself had introduced in 1982)[1]. This was a true digital camera (indicated by the "Digital Mavica" branding), rather than encoding analog video stills, as Sony had done with its Mavica series begun in 1981. Photos are stored in JPEG format with a choice of two compression quality levels.
